Well, IMO, I get heavily influenced by the drama it was in. I never paid attention to PEACH when it came out until I saw Hanazakari no Kimitachi he. I never heard of Ashita Hareru Kana until I watched Proposal Daisakusen six months later, over seven years for Chiisana Koi no Uta. I'm pretty sure there's a number of Japanese people with the same mindset.

IMO, a drama is like an extra long PV. You get to hear the song in a better context, making it sound better.
